meh.they've ported 360 exclusives without porting the prequels. Saint's Row 2, Full Auto 2,and a few others are examples.
You'd think they'd like some of our money right? So yeah, port it over, get some extra cash. It's got to be worth it now that the 360 / PS3 split is closer to 50/50 (outside of Amurka).
I don't get why it is that Amurkins love the 360 so? Weird.

The thing that really sucks about this for PS3 owners is that the story in the first game is incredibly strong and detailed, and directly carries over to the second game. I'm psyched for ME2, but I couldn't imagine playing it without playing the first game beforehand. If it happens, hopefully Bioware can do like, a special double pack of both of the games or something.
You really can't put Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 without porting the first. I know they've ported other games, but Mass Effect is all about the story. Starting with Mass Effect 2 would be like skipping Fellowship of the Ring and starting with The Two Towers. With other games, I don't think it matters as much. You could play Saints Row 2 without playing the first and not miss much. But Mass Effect was structured as a three act epic.
I hope they bring both games over to the PS3. Mass Effect is one of my all times favorites. It would be great if people who only own a PS3 could play it as well.

they should put out a ME1/2 set on ps3, I would get it since I ignored ME1 between the 360 exclusivity and the pc drm
I now own both consoles, and have yet to play ME1, so, even though I typically prefer my 360 for in game music and cheevos/friends n such, if they were to make a double pack and make the price right, I'd probably snap it up on PS3. Sounds like I'm gonna wait for the dust to settle before thinking about picking these two up.

Actually, that's like all exclusives recently. With the exception of things published by the companies themselves and maybe a few select others (Epic, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Valve), most stuff seems to be hitting both consoles. I like it, actually, because it makes owning one console or another not as big a deal. Of course, you'll stil have fanboys up in arms or taunting members of another system when they lose an exclusive.
Hmmm tee tummm final fantasy 13....grand theft auto 4...devil may cry 4...hmmm.
(Seriously, I think it would be a good move to put it [and a re-release of the first one] on the PS3. It's really one of the best games I've ever played).

All I know is the 360 version will be awesome. PS3 version (with the way ports from 360 games have been shaping up lately) not so much.
I hope ME2 makes it to the PS3 but the porting of ME just won't happen. That exclusivity, I believe, was not one of a timed nature. I think ME will be forever confined to the 360. Mass Effect is my favorite game of all time and I hope that all console owners get a chance to play it. I just don't see it happening due to legal restrictions.
OMG! A game that you might want to play, might be made *more* readily available. The world is coming to an end!!

Why is it sad to see exclusives fade away? I'm a fan of video games, not the machines that play them. I'm always happy when something goes multi-platform because then more people get to play it.

Exclusivity dying is "sad"? For whom? Fanboys? Certainly not for sensible consumers who want to play the best games on the market or for publishers/developers who want to maximize their profits and impact on the industry.
I'd rather not play pawn in some hardware manufacturer's scheme to sell consoles.
So PS3 owners, I hope you get to enjoy Mass Effect, and I hope to see more former PS3 exclusives on 360. Maybe then we can stop unjustly trashing games that aren't on our console of preference, or overinflating the review scores of system exclusives.

It is extremely stupid to port ME2 to the PS3 without the first game. So I guess that without using the saved games from the first game, the PS3 port of ME2 will be vastly inferior to the 360 and PC version.
The game wouldn't be inferior. It would just use a default start point. I'm sure there are people out there that played the first game and lost save data or will foolishly try to jump in with 2. Importing save data won't make the game better somehow, it will just determine what version of the universe you'll play in such as who's still alive and who's in power.
@Oncomouse Its sad cause every console in years past always was known for exclusive good titles and if you're a gamer like me and own every console in a gen then its like asking yourself "why the hell do I have this console if there isn't much good exclusives on it anymore?". I'm basicly saying that this is good for owner of one console of this gen but if you have all three consoles then this is terrible news.
It's funny how PS3-only owners swap sides so quickly. You defend your own exclusives to the grave but then act like it's your right as 'superior PS3' owners to have all of the 360 exclusives too. I own a PS3 simply for the exclusives (I'll never play a multiplat game for it), I'll get ME2 for 360 regardless so I can import my save data, not to mention I'd rather play it there anyway. I don't even understand why you would want to play ME2 without playing the first anyway. You'll be missing out on a ton of important plot points. Just keep it exclusive for that fact alone. ME2 on PS3 would essentially screw PS3 owners out of half of the experience.

I can sort of see where you're coming from on two levels:
1.) Consoles used to have much more of an individual identity. Back in the day you were an SNES or Genesis guy, an N64 or PSOne guy. That's gone to a large degree. I worked at a KB Toys when I was in high school. This was the end of the N64/PSOne era through the PS2 launch. Back then, it was a lot easier to tell parents which system to buy based on their kids' interests and preferences.
2.) You're basically saying you want to keep game exclusive, thus denying single-system people of some great games, in order to justify your multiple console purchase. That seems... selfish.
Either way, I think there are still enough solid exclusives on every console this gen to still justify a purchase. But maybe keep this trend in mind before buying the next round of consoles down the road.

EA Websites do make very stupid mistakes and I'm sure someone would of noticed if sony bought distributing rights for ME2
"You're basically saying you want to keep game exclusive, thus denying single-system people of some great games, in order to justify your multiple console purchase. That seems... selfish." Selfish? No, I like sharing games as much as the Good Samaritan. I think I choose the wrong words for the last post (I think I should of said disappointing instead of terrible)
"But maybe keep this trend in mind before buying the next round of consoles down the road." Yeah, I'll keep it in mind for sure.

Like the guy said, it'll probably go to ps3. I just don't see why they would shoot themselves in the leg by not doing it. Would 360/PC owner rebel and not purchase the game because it was released on the ps3? I seriously doubt it. It would only increase sales so why not?
The whole continuing story/decisions from ME1 isn't really a valid argument since there will be plenty of people playing ME2 as their first entry into the series.

Meh...I'm a total Star Wars Fanboy (and PS3 user) who bought the original Xbox for the sole purpose of playing KOTOR. Maybe it's just that I don't like RPGs, but I absolutely could not stand KOTOR...which led me to be very wary of BioWare.
I've got a friend who swears by ME and sometimes it seems like he's praying for a PS3 port of it so I can play too...but after KOTOR, I'm not particularly thrilled about a possible ME port to PS3.
Seriously...RPGs were meant to be played with paper, pencil, multi sided dice and Trapper Keepers stood on end.

I played it on PC as well, i'd consider picking it up on my ps3 given the choice. either way i'm getting in on pc or ps3.
I've always wanted to play ME1 but never had a 360. I recently fixed my brother's old one, but now if there are rumors of ME2 possibly going to be on the PS3 then maybe if it sells well, they'll port ME1. I wonder if I should just wait.
i would love ME on the ps3 but think bioware should get their ps3 exp up a bit before hand. don't want another shitty port.
While I'd like to see people who don't have a 360 get to experience the awesome that is Mass Effect, I can't help but be skeptical. For one, the ME 1 problem. And two, knowing how unstable ME 1 was while just being an Xbox exclusive makes me cringe at the thought of Bioware doing multi-platform for ME 2.
To Bioware: Please don't.
To Bioware: Please don't.
It would not be a very good decision on BioWare's part. Now, before you begin hating on me PS3 fanboys, consider how much it costs to port a game to PS3, which requires completely different programming than a PC or 360. That money could be put to better use on improving the 360 and PC versions of the game, which are basically copies of each other and don't require much specialized development; you develop for one, you develop for the other. So IMHO, porting to PS3 is a waste of time and money
I guess there's not much point in trying to hide it anymore. We all know it's coming, EA. You might as well just come out and say it. ;)
Personally, I'd prefer if they did a two-pack that contains both ME1 and ME2, even if it comes out a few months later. I've never played the first ME, so while I'd rather have just ME2 than nothing at all, I'd prefer to be able to start at the beginning.

Thank god this has finally died (hahaha, yeah right). Besides, if you don't buy this for PC your doin it wrong.
I'm still betting on a release for ps3 somewhere down the road! I mean it's EA now, not just BioWare.
Still on the fence whether to buy the first one or not, but I'm in no need of more games atm. That will probably change someday though.

if anyone picks up MAG instead of ME2, they have issues needing phyciatric attention

I only own a 360, and this is the only thing I have to say. Put the damn game on the PS3! The more exposure and more fans the series gets, the more money BioWare makes, and the more likely I'll get more and more amazing sequels I'll get for my favorite game.
Where have we seen these sloppy kinds of rumors before? Oh yeah... MGS4 for 360 CONFIRMED. Nevermind, NOT CONFIRMED. Wait there is still slight hope, CONFIRMED. Kojima denies, NOT CONFIRMED. Gamestop lists it under 360, CONFIRMED. It was an error, NOT CONFIRMED. I'm fucking with people to fuel the fanboy fire, CONFIRMED. I love reading these console wars, NOT CONFIRMED. etc... etc...
